Ingredients
- 300 g Salmon belly
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Green onions
- 1 half Fresh lemon
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
Directions
Step 1
Start by ensuring the salmon belly is fresh and high-quality. Rinse it lightly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
With a sharp knife, slice the salmon belly against the grain into thin sashimi slices, around 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices neatly on a serving platter.
Step 3
Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce and wasabi paste in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of wasabi to your preferred level of spiciness.
Step 4
Finely grate the fresh ginger and set aside.
Step 5
In a pan over medium-low heat, lightly toast the sesame seeds until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Chop the green onions finely and sprinkle them over the salmon slices along with the toasted sesame seeds.
Step 7
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon sashimi, adding a bright and tangy flavor.
Step 8
Using scissors, cut the nori sheets into thin strips and place a few on each platter. Nori adds a slight umami taste and texture.
Step 9
Serve the salmon belly sashimi with the soy-wasabi dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy as a refreshing appetizer high in protein!
